Another airport scare for New York City: Authorities evacuated a terminal at JFK this afternoon after a man walked through a security area, set off an alarm, and then disappeared. When cops couldn't locate him, they evacuated Terminal 8 so everyone could be re-screened. A source tells the Daily News that officials think the terminal "is fine." It handles domestic and international flights for American, and some were being delayed.

To blame any president for the lack of any employee is ignorant. Every problem cannot be laid at the POTUS doorsteps. What I found oddly strange is all those who rallied against the POTUS in the first place, look for every tiny bit of error in any state and try to lay the blame on him. How pointing the fingers where they belong, such as state/federal officals at these locations, or perhaps holding these employees is to much.

i can't help wondering if these incidences are really out of the norm for day to day airport security. i'm thinking we're hearing about every single thing that's going on now just heighten a sense of already growing paranoia.

i guess that $500 dollar fine was enough to deter this kind of behavior(facetious). maybe this time they'll be a little stiffer. They should fine the security guards responsible for this.
